The next day, Shi Heng came back from the court, and Wu Xi immediately went to see him.

Originally, if Shi Heng had listened to Wu Xi's complaint in the past, he would only continue to balance between the two of them.

After all, the two of them were his subordinates, and in his control, a little disagreement did not affect the daily life of the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion, so all along, Shi Heng only appeased the two and limited the infighting between the two to a very small range.

But today it's different.

Because Shi Heng was in charge of the Beijing camp, he won many battles with Wara, and was deeply trusted by Emperor Jingtai and Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, so he gradually became a little arrogant, and often brought his henchmen in and out of the palace to ask the emperor for officials.

Emperor Jingtai is relatively young, but Yu Qian has a noble character, disdains his various assignments, and reprimands him sharply, and this morning the dynasty also arranged for someone to impeach him, if it weren't for his great merit, he was also loyal to the court, and the cabinet still needed such a general to maintain the scene, I was afraid that he would be removed today.

Although he escaped, he was still discouraged and extremely unhappy.

At this time, after hearing Wu Xi's complaint, he was even more upset and irritable, and anger rose from his heart.

It's disgraced enough in the court, but I didn't expect to return to the mansion and live in peace, even his henchman butler is biting his tongue behind his back, if the people in the mansion know about his past, how do they think of themselves?

can be the Hou Ye's henchman in the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion, all of them are people who observe words and feelings, and Wu Xi is naturally no exception.

He carefully watched the changes on Shi Heng's face, and saw that his eyes suddenly flashed with anger, so he said on the side:

"Since he will go to the cook and say it, then he will also say it in front of others, he said it today, and he will say it tomorrow, I think I must get rid of him as soon as possible!"

Shi Heng said angrily: "It's nonsense, Shi Zhongjian has been by my side since he was a child, although he can't be compared to you, and he is not as trusted as you, but he has also done many things for me, he is a hero, how can I bear to make up a few lies for him after he gets drunk and imposes such a heavy punishment!"

Wu Xixin said: "Master Hou, you are playing with me, Shi Zhongjian is drunk, but that sentence is a 'lie' made up for you......? , great credit, why don't you let me be an official and be trusted, why do you tell him some good things, but don't tell me. ”

Wu Xi thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Hou Ye is magnanimous, but I'm afraid he can't change Shi Zhongjian in the slightest." Last time, he knocked on the door of the widow in the name of the Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye spared him, but what happened to him this time? He actually talked nonsense with the cook hired from outside, and if the cook went home and spread the word, wouldn't the Hou Ye's reputation be ruined? In this battle to defend the capital, you have made great feats in the defense of the capital, and you have made great achievements in patrolling Datong and Likvara, and the name of the god of war who is famous all over the world and mighty in the world, has been tarnished in vain! I will simply go to his room tonight and kill him with a single sword, so that he will not have another incident. ”

Shi Heng's anger rose up, and he slapped the table angrily: "Bold! If you dare to kill people with a knife, I will send you to Shuntian Mansion and ask you to die! This is no better than quarreling and fighting, accidentally injuring people's lives, there are many old people in the mansion, if you ask me, let me explain, don't you retreat quickly!"

Wu Xi was resigned, retreated outside, felt a chill in his heart, touched his forehead, and sweat had already come out.

People say that "a companion is like a tiger", I, Wu Xi, am just a swordsman, I can't be a general, I can only be a nurse, I don't have that blessed companion, and I don't know if what people say is right.

But to say that accompanying our Hou Ye is like accompanying a tiger, it is not bad at all.

It's not good to be strong in Shizhong, but after all, you have been a confidant for many years, why do you want to kill him all of a sudden? If you want to kill people and kill yourself, you have to wait for me to speak out first, and when I say it, you either say let me kill or don't let me kill, which can be regarded as a clear word.

But now, it seems that I am not allowed to kill, and it clearly implies that I will kill - you can't kill with a knife, if it is a "quarrel and brawl" or "accidental injury" of human life, then it doesn't matter.

When I heard this, I pretended not to understand, and if I didn't kill Shi Zhongjian, Master Hou would definitely think of cleaning me up, and don't think about it in the future, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed.

But if I kill Shi Zhongjian, he didn't explicitly say that I would kill him, the Taoist priest has the words of "send it to the government to arrive", people's lives are at the mercy of heaven, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if Shuntianfu really investigates it, of course he doesn't have to do it.

By that time, I couldn't speak.

In case the Hou Ye has a deeper meaning, and wants to use this to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of me casually, wouldn't I kill myself if I kill the backbone of the stone?

Thinking of this, Wu Xi couldn't help but sigh again and again.

The rivers and lakes said that he was "Wu Sandao", and some people said that he was "Sai Zhuge ", he was once complacent, thinking that he was smart, but compared with other people's Hou Ye, he was not even worthy of carrying shoes with others.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Xi finally turned his heart on the side and decided to get rid of Shi Zhongjian, after all, "wealth and danger are sought"!

When he insulted a family member, Wu Xi spoke coldly on the side, specially picking the most mean words to say, Shi Zhongjian naturally did not tolerate it, and also picked a few of the most ugly words in return. When Wu Xi heard this, he was furious, jumped up, and hit Shi Zhongjian's temple with a punch, knocking him to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose. When the family members carried their housekeepers to the bed, when they looked at it again, they were already breathless, and their bodies were cold.

Shi Heng ordered his family to report the matter to the government, and he wrote a short letter attached to it, only saying that the family members accidentally injured people's lives because of quarrels, and the family members who accidentally injured people were naturally severely punished by him. This is the end of the matter.

Two days later, when he learned that Wu Xi's mother was sick, Shi Heng summoned Wu Xi and said, "I heard that your mother is sick, you can go back and take a look, there are a few ingots of gold here, you can take them back and do your filial piety." I don't have anything to do here, just one. I am a little concerned about the matter of the cook Xu Yong, if you handle the matter properly, you can leave here a day or two in advance, and the government will track it down, and it will never suspect you. ”

Wu Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and knew that this was the Hou Ye who treated him as a real confidant.

Shi Heng has always been vigorously promoting his henchmen, so the entire capital regimental camp is full of General Shi's personal entourage, if this Shi Zhongjian is not distracted by the housekeeper's affairs, maybe he can also eat empty salary in the Beijing camp.

Therefore, Wu Xi also felt that he was soaring, only in front of him, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, you will do it properly." I, Wu Xi, am just a liver and brain, and I can't repay the grace of Hou Ye's acquaintance. ”

Shi Heng smiled faintly: "I won't let you 'smear your liver and brains', otherwise, who will I rely on in the future as the Marquis of Wuqing?"

One sentence made Wu Xi almost burst into tears, and walked out with a heavy burden in both hands.

This Xu Yong goes home every two days, he is actually a timid and afraid person, and Shi Heng is a general who is in power in the capital, Jinyiwei and Shuntianfu are very deferential to him, and Xu Yong has the courage to manipulate the rights and wrongs of the general.

What's more, he is still a heartless person, and he really thought that Wu Xi killed Shi Zhongjian because he was injured by mistake, so every time he saw Wu Xi, he pouted, turned his head and walked away.

Wu Xi naturally wouldn't be as familiar as a dying person, but he didn't know the situation in Xu Yong's family, but it couldn't help him.

As a "Sai Zhuge " who has traveled through the rivers and lakes, Wu Sandao is very proficient in some rivers and lakes, and quickly investigated the situation in Xu Yong's family clearly.

After all the investigations were clear, at dawn the next day, Wu Xi explained to everyone that because his mother was seriously ill, he wanted to go back to reflect on it, said goodbye to everyone, carried a small burden, and left the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion.

Wu Xi went outside the city, found a small shop to live in, and the next night, changed his outfit, sneaked into Xu's house with a knife at the third watch, killed him all over the house, and created a sensational homicide.

Originally, Wu Xi investigated, and the whole Xu family was there that night, but he didn't want to come up with a coincidence: Xu Yong's mother-in-law missed her little granddaughter that day, and sent someone to her son-in-law's house during the day to take the eight-year-old Xu Ting to his home to live.

Unexpectedly, many years later, a girl with an autumn water sword and a murderous aura between her eyebrows came to the capital.
